Oranjebus draws thousands in US, podcast hosts recount

The AD Voetbalpodcast special reviews the Oranjebus fan marches, noting over 10,000 supporters in Dallas and more than 15,000 in Houston, while today’s Kansas City event features two buses and an uncertain crowd size.

The Oranjemars precedes each Oranje match, forming part of the Oranjebus tradition. In Kansas City, the march is scheduled for today and will involve two buses leading a sea of Oranje fans.

Dallas saw more than 10,000 fans line the route, while Houston attracted over 15,000 supporters, demonstrating the growing overseas enthusiasm for the Dutch team.

The atmosphere is shaped by three men: Yves Berendse, Yuki and Feest DJ Ruud, who blend Dutch sing‑along chants with American hits and Mexican party music, turning the Oranjemars into an international celebration. They were photographed together with former Dutch internationals Wesley Sneijder and Edwin van der Sar on the Oranjebus.

These three join the AD Voetbalpodcast special, where they discuss their experiences alongside Etienne Verhoeff, offering personal insights into the fan gatherings. The segment is presented as an AD Voetbalpodcast special.

Hugo Borst remarked, ‘Toeterend reed ik ’s nachts over de Willemsbrug, met een lullig Marokkaans vlaggetje uit mijn raam’, recalling a night ride over the Willemsbrug with a small Moroccan flag. The remark appeared in the De Nachtkijker column.
